Question

The Drama Club is going on a field trip to see Hamlet by William Shakespeare. Tickets cost $36 each, but tickets are half-price for students and teachers. There are 25 students and 3 teachers going to see the play. What will be the total ticket cost for the group?

A) $252
B) $504
C) $758
D) $1,008

Answer 1

The total cost will be $504

Explanation:

25+3=28 students and teachers

36/2=18

$18 per person

18*28=504

$504

Answer 2

B) $504

Explanation:

Given that the tickets cost half the price for both students and teachers , the addition of the number of students to the number of teachers multiplied by the cost of a ticket (now half the price given) will result in the total cost paid by the group.

Total number of teachers and students = 3 + 25

= 28

Half the given price = $36/2

= $18

Total ticket cost for the group

= $18 * 28

= $504
